What has anime/manga teach you?

[neo_ranga]

The subject is simple: Name a Anime or Manga and make a list of what ever "wisdom" has left in you.

Have Fun ;)

From Full Metal Panic Fumoffu i learn:

1. The more efficient way to deal with unrequired love letters is to make it blow (and for anything else too XD ).
2. Unnecesary violence can be a peacefull way to end fights
3. Be scare of a girl with a fan
4. Beware of unnatended food
5. Soemhow a fully armed "Bunta" still looks cute XD

[Mamimi's Pimp Daddy]

I don't know about lessons from a particular Anime but Anime in general has taught me how to blow large sums of money and piss off the wife! :D

[Cloud]

i learnt that most of the stuff that happens in mangas and anime never happen in real life...



Mostly cause of Love Hina

[RisikaFox]

Hmmm... *thoughtful* In general:
1. Never underestimate short people.
2. Beware the rabid fangirls/boys.
3. When all else fails, try something incredibly stupid, it just might work. ^^

[creamy]

i havnt learnt much just that things can get really crazy between fan girls

[slaynlanser]

hmmm. things I learned from anime? lets see...well, i have nothing to do for a while, might as well sit here and think up what i can. hmmm....here goes!

1. If you meet someone, who is really cute, watch out, they're either evil, or VERRRRY hyper....but thats a good thing sometimes =^.^=

2. Pocky Solves everything

3. Catgirls are always hot

4. so are Catboys.... <<; >>;

5. Yaoi and Yuri rule. <<; >>; ^_^;;;

6. all dragonball Z episodes must consist of beating the hell out of each other for about 40 episodes, until finally someone dies, or cartoon network decides to be stupid and re-air everything AGAIN about 2 episodes before the big finale >< (dont ya just HATE that?)

7. Don't make short people angry. theyre just the right height to punch you where it counts. (sorry ed)

8. Stay AWAY from ANYTHING with tentacles. (KILL IT WITH FIRE!)

um.... yea. That's all I got for now. I'm half asleep, and JUST joined these forums (first post) yes, I am a n00b (newb, whatever).

[sweetsnow73]

anime/manga taught me...

Its always the quite ones and that People come in all shapes, sizes and colors so discrimination is pointless (a not so Ha-ha lesson)

It also taught me to think outside the box and beyond the 'norm'

[Miaka_28]

hmmm....I think anime had taught me to become more natural and open to others...for some reason! And it also taught me that anything's possible if you believe~ ;)

[The Doc]

I don't know about lessons from a particular Anime but Anime in general has taught me how to blow large sums of money and piss off the wife! :D

Amen, my brother.

[Lokizzo]

Let's see...
From Strawberry Eggs I learned crossdressing is perfectly fine so long as you remember the heavy duty underwear.
From Gunslinger girl I learned the meaning of "gelato" (though not the significance of eating it in the Piazza di Spagna).
From lain I learned that we'd all be better off on accela.
And from chrono crusade I learned that it's so worth giving up a bit of your life fr the privilege of hanging out with a super cute demon.

[RoboPeach]

Sadly anime, manga and robotics have taught me the same thing. NEVER piss off one of your female friends if you want to live to the next day. Unless you have mad healing powers. :-)
And From Love Hina I learned Girls Hit HARD!!!
From Full Metal Panic when in doubt Blow up half the school to nutrilize any bomb!

[SUKI]

i've learned ....

1) only in anime/manga there are good guys... there's none left in this world.. if there is, they're taken
2) they give me knowledge for geography, history, and mythology
3) my life is miserable compared to the ppl in anime or manga..

[CatMarieS]

Anime has taught me that if my eyes take up 85% of my brain space, I won't have any room with which to think.

[littlekittysakura]

What I learned from Ranma...

If you're going to have a serious conversation that you don't want interupted, lock the doors, bar the windows and check under the floorboards first. People can hide anywhere regardless of how they got there.

What I learned from anime in general...

Never trust the sweetest person you meet. They're likely the one who will be holding you at gunpoint/ swordpoint five minutes from now.

ANYTHING is possible. Even if you don't believe in it.

If you stubbornly believe that something is impossible, the cosmos will turn against you make you a liar.

The best armor a girl can have is the shortest skirt and a shirt that's almost ripped completely off.

Don't insult cute, cuddly creatures... They bite...hard...

And finally, the best hero is bipolar, loud, obnoxious, crude, gluttonous, anti-social, stuck up, perverted, or has serious mental health issues.... Or any combination of traits that in real life would be extremely annoying...

[kariuchiha]

THAT THE HITOKIRI BATTOUSAI WAS A REAL PERSON!!!!!
well at least he was in my history book 2 years ago

[random_pie]

Excel Saga:
A series needs no plot to become popular and lovable.

Mouse + Ikki Tousen:
Guilty pleasures are good.

Last Exile:
Serious animes are just as good, if not better than a lot of comedies.

RahXephon:
Persistance is a virtue.

Kiddy Grade:
Patience is also necessary to watch one of the greatest series of all time.

[Soldier of Light]

you can get hit with a really big mallet and come out fine.

[thatthat]

i learned that i, a retard and well short person, am sappose to end up with a 7 foot bishounen that always talks with a deep voice and shows me up on everything and i'm going to love him with blind undieing love.

[AjisainoHime]

I learned that

-Hot Guys always have something wrong with them
-Angels are almost always hot
-P433R N4k3d Guys you dunno whats going on up in their minds

[kianah]

anime in general has taught me to draw again, and keep doing so.... and that i can get better than i was before.

[Alphonse Elric]

that some things are actually true and also that you should watch out for it

[slaynlanser]

I also learned, that girls LOVE seeing a sexy, girly boy, (like me) cross dressing, in a black pleated skirt, tatterd black belly shirt, pink hello kitty panties, long black and whitre striped legging, studded kitty collar with chain, black cat ears, and a long kitty tail.

^_~

[elisegrey]

It's taught me that my room has many more places to conceal hardcore yaoi than I could ever have imagined before. :D

Yes. A valuable life skill.

[slaynlanser]

from my friend Mandy:

1. All hot guys are gay ><

2. Life cannot be restored by 7 magical orbs ~_~

3. People do not (unfortunately) have cat ears and tails and make cute little noises

4. You CAN'T transform into wolves

5. your life is never magicallly saved by a flaying man with a pinapples leaves hair

[slaynlanser]

From Alyssa:

Anime/Manga Makes me read yaoi & watch it almost everyday, and it makes me bisexual.

[scarecrow]

Actually, I don't mean to be cheesy but from manga, especially Furuba, does anyone get lessons from Tohru..? Not like. Literally take-it-to-heart kind of things but she's always so fsckin'.. optimistic, and I'm the biggest pessimist ever but I find myself thinking about things that she says, and I don't know why lol her and lots of other characters.
Does anyone else think like that or is it just my dumb ass? O_o;
PS: It doesn't teach me to draw, just makes me realise how much I can't. lol

[Dorii]

Fruits Basket
Run away from people that catch you trespassing. They may adopt you into the family! Or they may be axe-murderers.
I love crossdressing males with a passion.
Yu-Gi-Oh!
Multiple personalities are fun!
Loveless
With the right characters, both sexes can learn to appreciate shounen and shoujo-ai!
Shounen-Ai in General
I like gay guys. Yeah, that's what I learned. >.>;;

[Rukida]

from my friend Mandy:

1. All hot guys are gay ><


'tis a pity indeed :(.

i've learned:
1) to not throw those toy pokeballs at cars
2) to realise walking on water increases risk of drowning
3) that you can really make bread that tastes like rice
4) i can do... stuff.

[Dorii]

Oh, yes... Tohru...
Tohru teaches us many things. She is very optimistic, and I do try to take some of the things she says to heart (Live your life boldly...! Don't put yourself down!).
She's a good girl.

[PinkKirby]

Mine is Daisuke!!!!!
He's soooooooooooo sweet!!!!!!!!
Such a cutie pie, and soooooooooooo adoreable!!!!!!!!!!!

[Miako]

Anime/Manga in general - it's perfectly ok to be a thin girl who eats a lot and is totally in love with food. ^_^

[Louann1]

Anime has taught me that sometimes it's the prettiest people who almost always turn out to be weirdos.

[DeathScytheHC]

The quiet, small, and/or cute people are the most dangerous people in the world.
Also, that mechas are the fastes machines ever, no matter how big or monumental.

[dannylammy]

haha! Yay! Bunta-kun to the resque! Argh. Scary Ponies.
But seriously..
Anime/manga has tought me to be more sensitive when im around people...

[TwilightxLove]

i have learned from Yukiru Sugisaki how to draw some really awesome art(im not trying to brag if i am)!

romance manga/anime has taught me there is no way i can get a guy in the real world!

[Sora92]

Anime/manga has taught me to never tickoff an already angry person....or, live life to the fulllest.

[CrazyCat]

It's okay to be weird and high on nothing but life :D

[manfred]

haha this isn't actually from a manga but Dune by Frank Herbert taught me never to sit with my back to a door

[bebexsweetnezz]

Anime isn't something like some American silly cartoon. It actually has lessons that you can apply to your life.

Fruits Basket - Now I've learned so much on this since one of its themes is a slice of life. INCLUDING: 1). It's better to look at the benefit of the doubt. 2). Be happy with life because believe me it could be worse. 3). Life can be a jerk sometimes. But hang in there! (As Tohru would say.)

Elfen Lied & Ceres: No matter how much power one species/celestial maiden has, humans always manage to put them in misery. BASICALLY, humans really are the strongest.

[DeathScytheHC]

If don't want or don't plan of having a relationship theres always someone who wants you, and viceversa the more you want the less or none you get.

[AnimeDudde]

Anime and Manga taught me how to draw boobs. Im serious :P Im a professional slut artist now :D Thats about all it taught me though, the rest I learnt from hentai haha xD Im making 1 last poll before I sleep :P

[Miako]

Anime/Manga taught me that I have a twisted sense of humor. I almost always crack up when someone gets their head chopped off randomly *elfin lied or um that girl taking pics of Kei with her cellphone *first ep.* or just well violence in general...* On the plus side I'm not squirmish over blood anymore! Thx Anime/Manga!

[ParaKiss]

Anime/manga taught me that I'm a sucker for romance

[Rikimaru]

Yakitate Japan taught me to be a baker which I am right now (still in training...)
I learned that when you sneeze, that means someone is talking about you.

[Edward Elric]

anime/manga has taught me that if you dont expect to find love you will... even tho you might not know it at first

[Parfait]

Anime/manga has taught me that explosives are fun.

[tsunamizero02]

1. A weapon's size and weight is irrelevant. If you're a main character, you can wield anything.
2. The aesthetic difference between yaoi and yuri is apparent only once clothes have been removed.(Which has lead to some mental scarring.)

[Liannah]

Anime/manga has taught me that explosives are fun.

Lol. Yeah, that was half the fun of chemistry. :D

[mei-chan]

manga has thaught me its ok to be different, wich i am aniway since i read manga and nobody around me does apart from by boyfriend does. and yes, i still piss him of when i spend too much money on manga

[odinmm]

it got me back into reading, now i am reading the anime/ manga novels (that makes my mom happy:) ). i get out more *gets in car and goes to home* (looks at my location)

[MadGSC]

anime and manga has taught me that Japanese sailor uniforms can open vortexes to other times or places. Those uniforms are nothing but trouble.

[Alphonse Elric]

it made me want to read alot more... and in some of it i even learn stuff.. O.o

[AnimeKitty]

anime/manga has taught me a lot... but one thing i will never forget...
confidential confessions-
even when things are down, and you want to make a point, siucide isn't an option, things may not get better after you die, if you're alive at least you have a chance o prove yourself or stop the bad things that happen, but if you're dead before you do that, everything will just fall apart for everyone that cares about you<3


(sorry 'bout the seriousness... just had to do it ^_^):D

[Bolt_Gundam510]

my mother is happy that i am reading again for a while i stoped reading. but no wi buy my own anime books to read so she's happy that i like readeing once again. anime/manga as thought me combat skills some of witch that i can do. it depends on what you can do with your body size not with what weapon you have but your body alone and what you can do is the greatest weapon ever on the face of the planet heh heh.

[Nekochii]

It taught me some things about Japanese culture I never knew before, and the meaning of Japanese titles like chan, san, sensai, sempai, ect. Also how to read a book from right to left.

[kasugawa]

well the lessons i learned are:

-The weirdest people/persons in the anime/manga series are the most powerful character ever. ^_^'

-Small is VERY terrible.

err...that's all, my head's spinning again...

[tomselleck69]

the most valuable lesson i have learned from anime (the hard way) is that most anime isn't very good.

[DigiDigi]

I've learned that:
Anything is possible, if you belive in it enough.

It's okay to be compleatly crazy, in fact most people are we just don't know it yet.

All of lifes problems can be solved with Mecha.

Stay away from well's they are dangerous portals to other times/and eras.

If something comes flying out of your computer take said device and say Digiport open it'll be worth it.

Gravitation is like a gateway drug one read and your hooked on the Shonen-ai/Yaoi forever.
